The Adoption Ceremony!

9 people ran 5.5km to put our canal adoption signs up

It was great to welcome two new runners at tonight’s group run, it’s fantastic to have Jennifer and Alex on board. It was also great to see our ‘London GoodGymer’ Chloe, who joined us tonight, I hope you all enjoyed it!

Presentation time!

Tonight, was a momentous night for GoodGym Brum, we had the presentation of our canal adoption certificate which included lots of pictures and a talk from Nick, part of the Canal and River Trust on why us adopting the canal is so important. So, a little later than normal we got on our way. We split up into two groups, each putting up three canal adoption signs on our part of the canal.

Intervals

Once all the signs were done, we had the usual selfie from Chan (I tried but I’m not in that guy’s league)! Then it was into some interval training 6 rounds of about 150m of hard effort. Aidan and Sam led the way, while Garry and Chan put in their usual hard work. Once the intervals were completed we had a steady run up towards St Paul’s square, adding in a quick hill sprint on the way. Chloe led the way showing a great arm action.

A bunch of plankers!

Once in St Paul’s square I handed over to Aidan who took the group through a heart racing, core burning, tricep torching, leg beasting………err you get the picture, circuit session! Jennifer and Chloe showed great effort all the way through. Chan and John put in some reeet effort despite a couple of ‘niggly’ injuries, Garry was blasting out those tricep dips like he had spent a six year stint in solitary confinement! Alex and Sam really put that core through its paces with some great plank work!

Next week we will be out doing good again, well you will be as I’m on me hols 😉 Don’t worry though the group will be left in the very capable hands of Aidan, so please come a long and join him sign up here.
